After a quick lunch, the second round of interviews began. There was another round in the afternoon, this time for doctoral students! Wu Tong only planned to recruit one doctoral student, and he was looking for someone with sufficient practical skills and potential.
The doctoral students who were selected for their group interview must have been selected from the best of the best. It was not too difficult for Wu Tong to choose the doctoral student she wanted to select, He Mingquan, who had previously studied for undergraduate and master's degrees in the Department of Mathematics at Jinan University and was also the third place in this doctoral student recruitment.
Wu Tong could tell from his research that he had a solid theoretical foundation. He might not be the kind of student with overnight success, but from his words and deeds, Wu Tong could sense his hard work, his love and determination for mathematics, and his stable mentality.
Perhaps such a student may not be able to achieve great results in a short time, but Wu Tong believes that as long as he perseveres, he will achieve outstanding results sooner or later.
As for Wu Tong, neither the first-ranked interviewee nor the second-ranked interviewee with outstanding performance was chosen. Instead, only the third-ranked interviewee whose performance could be said to be mediocre was chosen. In fact, the professors present were all a little puzzled.
"Wu Tong, you really don't have to deliberately not choose the best talents just to accommodate us. You are the most outstanding scholar and the best student in our Peking University. Having you as the guide is a real win-win situation!" Professor Wen, who has met Wu Tong many times and is in the same class as Wu Tong and won the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, could not help but give a blunt suggestion.
They are all old men, and seeing the flourishing development of Peking University's School of Mathematics and the domestic mathematics community is their true wish come true. They really don't need Wu Tong to accommodate them.
"Professor Wen, don't worry. I'm really not trying to make concessions. The third candidate, He Mingquan, is more to my liking. I value his steadiness and want to give him a better platform!" There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, and geniuses also have no shortage of mentors' attentive guidance. On the contrary, if someone like He Mingquan really doesn't meet a mentor with a discerning eye for talent, it is very likely that his talent will go to waste and he will end up wasting half his life.
Wu Tong didn't know if she was the mentor who had the foresight to recognize talent, but she thought that she would do her best to fulfill her responsibilities as a mentor, hoping to help him make better progress in mathematical research.
"Alright, Wu Tong is straightforward. Let's not waste time and quickly decide on our preferred candidates. Let's agree on this first. No random competition!" Pan Wenhua made the final decision. He believed Wu Tong had his own thoughts. Since Wu Tong had made his choice, they should just support him.
Pan Wenhua said the latter sentence to the other professors. Of course, this was not a request, but a joke. Before, it was not the first time that two professors had exposed each other's shortcomings for the sake of a good student, and the two professors had fought each other, causing a lot of laughter and laughter.
"Okay, don't worry, Dean Pan, we will take it easy and won't let our School of Mathematics become a laughing stock!" Everyone wants a good seedling. As for if two or three people are interested in the same student, they can compare their abilities privately. The winner wins and the loser retreats. No one should be dissatisfied with anyone else.
They are all about to enter old age, and if they continue to make fun of themselves, where is their face? Some people don't care about face, they still have to keep some dignity for themselves!
The interviews for the students were quickly concluded. There were supposed to be more interviews, but Wu Tong had already successfully met her initial expectations and decided not to participate. She would simply wait for the security department to complete background checks on the three students she had chosen. Once they were clear, they would send them confirmation letters and schedule a time for them to register.
Wu Tong prepared the correspondence, and An Wenshu would handle the rest for her. After the interview, it was still early, so Wu Tong, unusually for her, skipped the research institute and went straight home. Her next step was to head to the Second Academy of Aeronautics and Astronautics' research and experimental base to conduct the final development of the DF-17 missile and oversee the development of the new scramjet engine, a role she couldn't fulfill at the Peking University Interdisciplinary Research Institute.
Therefore, Wu Tong had to go on a business trip for a while. Before leaving, Wu Tong still wanted to get together with his family. When he got home, Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu had not yet finished their get off work, so naturally they had not returned yet.
Wu Tong went downstairs first to visit his grandparents. Jin Yongqing was working with Grandma Jin on a sweet soup. He hadn't done much with it before, starting with more everyday savory soups. Now that he felt his skills had improved, he was taking on more challenging ones. Tongtong, his sweetheart, was a sweet-toothed kid.
"Hey, Tongtong, why are you back so early today?" Wu Tong knocked on the door, and Jin Yongqing couldn't help but smile when he opened it. It had been a while since he'd seen Tongtong come home so early; he'd been so rushed lately. Knowing that Tongtong was busy with work, yet he still insisted on visiting them whenever he could, they were quite grateful.
He chose this time to research sweet soup in the hope that he could make some soup that is more palatable and fresher for Tongtong, to nourish her and replenish her spirit, so that Tongtong would be more confident in facing the research.
"Grandpa, grandma, I finished my work early today, so I came to talk to you first!" Wu Tong walked forward with a smile, took his grandpa's hand, and entered the house.
"Xiao Dan, Xiao Cai, you two are here to bring Tongtong up today. Come in! I just made some sweet soup. Would you like to try it?" The four people accompanying Wu Tong were apparently quite familiar with the family, seeing each other almost every day. The Wu family and their spouses also treated them as their own children and nephews. Seeing the two people two steps behind Wu Tong, they couldn't help but greet them with familiarity.
Although they didn't always accept, their enthusiasm was genuine, and they wouldn't stop inviting them again just because they refused once. As long as it didn't violate their rules, they wanted to be nice to them. Firstly, they had known them for a long time and were very hospitable. Secondly, they hoped that their enthusiasm would encourage them to take better care of their child, Tongtong.
The family's earnest care is evident in every little detail.
"No, Mr. Jin, we have other plans. We won't be going in today!" Cai Yi smiled and waved his hand. They needed to make detailed and clear plans for Mr. Wu's trip tomorrow, and they had to be fully prepared. With the situation Mr. Wu faced now becoming increasingly complex, even with the best investigation and confidentiality work, they had to be wary of the possibility of leaks even in the most foolproof situations.
Especially when traveling, you must be fully prepared. This is necessary and you cannot be lax at all. Mr. Wu’s safety cannot be neglected in the slightest!
If they are even slightly careless, it would be tantamount to committing a crime! Mr. Wu is very important and this matter is of great importance!
